Qingsha You Meiyi took care of Ye Fan in front of the hospital bed for more than half a month, and after losing his Taoist cultivation, his body recovery speed became no different from that of ordinary people, and he had to be taken care of by someone to eat, drink, and Lazar. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

During this period, Qingsha Yumei did not have a word of complaint, and there was little communication with each other, after experiencing the incident in Dragon City, Qingsha Yumei's whole person seemed to have changed, becoming unsmiling and hardworking.

Another half a month has passed, Ye Fan has already been discharged from the hospital to recuperate at home, and his body has basically recovered to the best state, reading books and newspapers every day, drinking tea and chatting with his brothers, and savoring the various states of life.

All kinds of things that I haven't tried before, but now I'm idle, but it's sweet and sour, each with its own taste.

Over the course of a week, he learned to drive, play golf, surf, ......

At night, I occasionally go out to bars, nightclubs, and saunas to exchange glasses with my brothers from all over the world......

Letting go of all the previous entanglements, life is full of worldly atmosphere, ordinary but not ordinary, which is also a rare experience.

Li Sihan's pharmaceutical factory was finally opened in a prosperous manner, named "Li Shi Pharmaceutical", which has 20% of Ye Fan's shares.

Under the helm of Shen Jiayao, the Four Seas Society expanded wildly to the Yangtze River Delta region, and gradually formed four major branches, the magic capital Song City controlled by Lin Yuxiang and Xiao Han, Jinling where Long Tianjiao was located, Wu City managed by Yan Chen, and Pengcheng, an important town in Jiangbei under Tang Wen and Baili Qinshuang!

The actual dominance of Dragon City has long been gone, and now, with the dominance of the Four Seas, Long Qianqiu is indulgent by default, ignoring it, and large and small gangs and associations have begun to move closer to the Four Seas and surrender to sincerity, and the pattern of the Chinese underground world is undergoing a major change that has not been encountered in 20 years, a big reshuffle.

Everyone has a career to fight for, but he has a breeze on his sleeves, sitting and watching the tide rise and fall, during this period of recuperation, the whole person's state of mind has become more precipitated, more honor and disgrace.

With a flick of the fingers, it is more than a month.

One morning, sitting on the reef on the seashore, watching the nascent morning sun pierce the sea level, Ye Fan only felt like a world away.

Since that night, he has not practiced the Shangqing Dao Sutra again, and even the Heavenly Eye Vision that remains in his eyes rarely takes the initiative to open it, and he completely bids farewell to his monastic career and turns into a layman in the world.

His mentality is also very different from before, he only talked to Shen Jiayao about club affairs in private, and rarely cared about the overall situation.

The Flying Zombie Gold is not bad and the snow is hidden in the basement of the villa, few people know about its existence, and it is almost forgotten by Ye Fan.

Thinking of Huayangzi's words before leaving that day, Ye Fan remembered this flying zombie and had an idea, looking for two spiritual materials, purple yin jade and dragon chalcedony!

This can be regarded as completing a mission for the teacher, so that there is a beginning and an end.

Jade is such a thing, the antique market has everything, fakes and genuine products, anyway, they can't escape his eyes that are perceptive, after breakfast, called Shangqing yarn Youmei, Ye Fan drove directly to the antique market.

As for the dragon marrow, Ye Fan had never heard of it before, so he would get the purple yin jade first and then consider this.

Due to the excellent geographical location, close to the East China Sea, and the ancient capital of the Six Dynasties Jinling, the magic capital of Song City, Gusu City is only a few hours by car, the tourism and cultural industry of Xinghai City gathers hundreds of longs, the antique market is vigorously developed after the reform and opening up, under the vigorous guidance of the government, the scale of the industry has topped the south of the Yangtze River, and there is a tendency to catch up with the capital and Xi'an.

After the car was parked, the two blended into the bustling passenger flow of the antique city.

There are generally two types of individual tourists who go in and out of this kind of place, one is the unemployed vagrants who report their dreams of making a fortune, and the other is the out-of-town tourists who are purely sightseeing.

Jewelry, jade, pen, ink, paper, inkstone, calligraphy and painting plaques, bronze porcelain ...... All kinds of fakes and fakes, everything.

After visiting a few jade shops, Ye Fan had helplessness and disappointment on his face, not to mention that there were few rare purple yin jade and real jade jewelry.

In the modern era where counterfeiting is all the rage, the things marked with sky-high prices on the counter are all fakes, and the so-called three years of not opening, opening for three years, profiteers are holding this kind of mentality of stealing customers, making huge profits.

"What are you looking for?" Kiyosa Yumi couldn't help but be curious, frowning and asking.

"True jade. Ye Fan said.

"Are those fakes?" After walking so many houses, he didn't even ask, and came out with a few casual glances, which couldn't help but make Kiyosa Yumi feel that this person's behavior was really weird, and he could tell the truth at a glance?

"Ten of the ** are all quartz. Ye Fan smiled: "Where fakes are prevalent, it seems difficult to find the real jade I need." ”

Qingsha Yumei thought for a moment and asked, "Since this is the case, why don't you look for it from the source?"

Ye Fan was slightly stunned when he heard this, and looked at her with a smile in his eyes, with obvious praise: "You are right, you should go back to the source." ”

The four major producing areas of jade in China are Hotan in Xinjiang, Xiuyan in Liaodong, Nanyang in Henan and Zhushan in Hubei.

Qingsha Youmei's words therefore reminded Ye Fan that in the jewelry and jade store, it is impossible to find a large amount of purple yin jade, and the amount required to quench a body without turning bones is at least dozens of catties!

The only shortcut is to seek the help of professionals in this industry, otherwise it is useless to look for a needle in a haystack.

There is a specialization in the art industry, and every industry has the rules of this industry, as well as top practitioners. This type of person is usually called a king, such as the king of kitchens, the king of guns, the king of oil, and the king of automobiles...... The person Ye Fan is going to visit now is of course not called the Jade King, but the Jade King!

Jade is the general term for this large category of utensils, among which the most valuable is jadeite. Therefore, the king of this profession has been honored as the Jade King since ancient times.

After asking several antique shop owners along the street, Ye Fan successfully found out the news he wanted.

"Jade King, you are the right person, of course it has to be Mr. Ji!"

"Jade King Ji Hongqu, the head of the bend, the biggest door, no thanks......"

Along the Jade Street, passing through the central archway, the two saw that the front door of the store was surrounded by three layers inside and three layers outside, and the black pressure was all on the back of the head.

That shop is indeed the most magnificent and domineering one on this street, and there is a huge plaque hanging above the four-meter-high lintel, with a gold-lettered signboard and five big seals written: The first knife in Nanyang!

How does the jade and jade business have anything to do with knives?

In fact, this origin can be traced back to the Qing Dynasty, when there was no such thing as stocks and lottery tickets, and a kind of entertainment game came from Yunnan, Myanmar, and gradually was regarded as the first means of gambling to make money by the wealthy class in the jewelry store. Take out the jade wool of the soil, that is, the so-called jade to make a bet, judge whether there is jade in it through the color and luster on the shell, and bet on a huge amount of money, which is the gambling stone activity handed down in modern times.

To do gambling stone business, you must have a pair of discerning eyes, a courage, three points of good luck, and a good knife technique!

A piece of the finest jade is often worth millions of dollars. In the beginning, when cutting jade, there were no modern grinding wheels and electric abrasives, and it was completely hand-polished, which was time-consuming and labor-intensive. Those with superb skills can do a knife down, not badly, you say cut where you cut, will not cause accidental losses.

Therefore, the ancestral experts usually have a good knife skill, never rely on the machine, and the process of calcing the stone is also a must.

As for the characters who dare to be crowned the title of Jade King, the knife technique must be even more superb, so this old Mr. Ji Hongqu uses the first knife in Nanyang as a signboard, serving an ancestral rice bowl, and making it the top in the industry.

At the door of the store, the crowd was noisy and noisy, and there were many idlers from the three sects and nine streams, and they didn't know what was going on in the central venue.

Ye Fan and Qing Sha Yumei exchanged glances, and the two squeezed into the crowd.

In the open space surrounded by the crowd, there are six blank stones the size of a basin, two or three feet high, some of which are bright and green, some gray and white like granite, and some of which show a chaotic stripe of various colors.

At each end of this pile of stones, of unknown value, stood an imposing man, surrounded by four or five disciples.

The tall and thin old man wearing a robe of the Republic of China, stepping on cloth shoes, and a clear face is Mr. Jade Wang Ji, who has his hands behind his back and a dignified face, and the disciples and grandchildren behind him are all nervous to death.

On the other side, a middle-aged man in white bib pants had a sinister smile on the corner of his mouth, holding a fat cigar in his mouth, and his eyes were firmly fixed on Ji Hongqu. On his left hand side stood an Asian-skinned man with dark eyes and a thin dark face.

This foreign man who looked like a servant attracted Ye Fan's attention.

Not because he is ugly, but because of an evil aura that emanates from him!

On the ground in the center of the two groups, a grinder was spinning rapidly, and dust was flying, gradually cutting through the bucket-sized piece of wool.

"Green, green, green!" The people around Ji Hongqu waved their fists and shouted cheering, and the momentum was amazing.

Onlookers were also chattering and looking forward to the exciting outcome.

It's a gamble on stones!

The blade cuts through the skin, only to know that it is tens of millions of riches, or a broken stone that makes people bankrupt and worthless.

Boom -

The wool was divided into two, the smoke and dust were rolling, the calcification work was successfully completed, and the results were immediate!
